Yesterday, we had a beautiful friday and the sun was out. The temp was 55 degress and i figured it'd be a good day to go out ride. I was tired of being all cooped up in the house, reading like slave and doing school work.
Oh also the trails opened yesterday! maine rocks for opening it early!
Anyways. So i set out to go out ride. I came to a 2 way split, i decided to go off the marked trails. There is a gas station and few other restaurants near by that store which was about 10 miles out from that trail split. You're probably saying to yourself, i should NOT go off the marked trails. You're right. I learned my lesson AGAIN, especially being a lone rider with no help around.
After a few success with going fast over some mud holes, half way through in the woods, i got stuck! Just this one tiny mudhole had to be a ****. I mean... a total *****! Every time i messed with the **** toy..... it sunk deeper and deeper into the hole. By the time i stopped myself, it was submerged (could see half of the header pipe). I wish i had taken photos of that, i didn't remember to. Of course i was ******, tired, and sore lol.
Lucky you, i did take a few pics right after i knew i was stuck. From looking at the photos, it didn't look so bad but later it was!

Now here's my word of advice.... DO NOT GO OFF MARKED TRAILS OR RIDE ALONE!
You're probably wondering why i said that. After the fact half of the bike got submerged, i did my last resort plan. I walked 20 miles through the woods to find my truck. Game warden was there at the parking lot. He was inspecting everyone's toy. Mine isnt registered yet AND i did not want the warden to know what was happening. Soon as he left, i set out back to the mud hole with a few ratchets, a rope and a small folding shovel i bought at a marine/army store.
Finally..... I got it out and continued the rest of the trail. Once i got to the store, i stayed on the main road back to where my truck was parked.
